get Meshed Launch Party
Well, what can we say... Kay and I were blown away by the success of the get Meshed Launch Party. We met some great people in the 200-strong crowd and we hope everyone had a fabulous time, meeting interesting people, browsing the art and haute couture and, of course, sinking a few drinks and nibbles. When we launch the next phase, we will endeavour to grab a larger venue so that even more wonderfully interesting and creative people can attend.
The evening began at 7 p.m. with drinks and a slide show of screenshots of the beta website playing in the background. We deliberately strayed away from telling people too much about the website because we feel that, for now, the secrets that lie beyond our static site should be for the eyes of our special Founding Members only. Feel free to ask one of them what it's like inside!
At 9 p.m. we gave a short presentation. Unfortunately, our microphone died on us so we had to shout our way through it. However, we think we got our message across loud and clear: professionals are more than just the sum of their suit. In fact, we were bowled over by the number of people who kept coming up to us to tell us what a cool business professional they had just met.
We also showcased our viral video which is now available on our YouTube channel and Google Video. You can also watch it here:
A huge thanks to our sponsors (in no particular order): Moomu Records, Zubka, A Suit That Fits, Andy Lopata and Andy Sloan.
Next Event: Secret World of Haute Couture
At Mesh we like to strike while the iron's hot. So, whilst you're sunning yourself over the Bank Holiday weekend, stop and think about our next event which will be taking place at the new and exclusive City studio of the international fashion designer, Roubi L'Roubi.
Roubi is one of the fastest rising stars of haute couture having launched his label in London in 2003 and in Tokyo last year. His breathtaking collections have been worn at the Oscars, Royal Ascot and the Baftas. At our event, Roubi will take you through the design process from conceptualisation to finished product, showcase the new autumn/winter collection and provide a unique insight into the world of haute couture. Illi Adato will showcase a selection of sumptuous fine wines and snacks will also be provided.
When: Tuesday, 4 September 2007 (6.30pm - 10pm)
Where: 1st floor, 13 Norton Folgate, London E1 6DB
Cost: £15
Numbers are very limited so please book your places as soon as possible: roubi@meshminds.com
Ideas for future events?
We're also looking for ideas for future Mesh Events. If you have any interesting events in mind or experience in event organising and would like to bounce them off the Mesh Heads...feel free to contact us at events@meshminds.com.
Ideas Kay and I have in mind include events that allow our members to showcase their musical talents or a film masterclass from one of our resident Mesh Gurus on how to make a short feature film.
We're also looking for more Mesh Gurus - people who work full time in creative professions who are willing to mentor our members in exchange for business advice and the opportunity to work on unique underground creative projects.
Enjoy the weekend. get Meshed!
